All 10 Welsh universities and four of the country's colleges want to charge annual fees of more than £4,000 by autumn 2012. But to do this, they had to submit plans to subsidise more low-income students. These plans had to be endorsed by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales. However, the quango has told the 14 institutions their plans were not ambitious enough, and that they must rewrite them if they are to charge higher fees.

• The University of West London has announced that it will charge a standard fee of £7,500. Those taking specialist art courses will be charged £7,700 and those planning on specialist music or performance courses will face the higher fee of £8,200.

MPs voted in December to allow fees for UK students on undergraduate courses to rise from £3,350 a year to £6,000, and £9,000 in "exceptional cases."

But ministers assumed that universities would charge different levels of fees and that the average, across more than 130 institutions, would be £7,500.

The government pays students' tuition fees in the first instance. Graduates pay the government back when they are earning more than £21,000. If the average fee is higher than ministers anticipated, the government will end up paying more up front, and this may not be sustainable.

So far only a handful of institutions (announced so far) have published plans to charge less than the maximum.

Universities and colleges had until Tuesday 19 April 2011 to submit their access agreements to Offa. They will then assess their agreements and announce all that have been approved by 11 July 2011 - so the fees below are the amount universities are intending to charge. These will be updated as further universities publish their plans.
